■ AI-SUMMARIZED FROM 2 SOURCES ▸ TIMELINE

LG's UltraGear 25G590B will be the first gaming monitor to achieve 1000Hz refresh rates at native 1080p resolution. Previous 1000Hz displays topped out at 720p.

The 24.5-inch IPS display breaks new ground in competitive gaming hardware. Until now, achieving 1000Hz refresh rates required sacrificing resolution to 720p or lower. LG's new monitor maintains 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution while hitting the higher refresh rate. The UltraGear 25G590B targets esports competitors across multiple genres, from fast-paced shooters to strategy games. The combination of high refresh rate and standard 1080p resolution should appeal to competitive players seeking responsive gameplay without resolution compromises. LG plans to release the monitor sometime this year. Full pricing and exact availability details remain unannounced. The move represents a significant step forward in gaming monitor technology, potentially setting a new standard for competitive displays.
